Hi, no summer here yet

Lost 1 1/2 tonight, so that's 2 stone and half a pound

Happy with this, but need to keep going, only 3 weeks until my cousins wedding and still not happy with the fit of the dress.

Good luck to everyone this week

A testing day for me. Feel a little off so not going to go for my usual walk this morning which previously would have ended in me feeling guilty so I would exercise then feel pants and regret my new lifestyle. I'm ok with not going today, I need some rest. All I know need to tell myself is to stay out of the Nutella jar.....

I've got a christening (well, 3 for the price of 1 ) on the 5th of September and have an aim of 11st 10lbs. Might be setting my sights a little high...but I think I have to, to keep motivated

I started the week at 12st 8lbs and, as of today, I'm 12st 5lbs. Hoping for another 1-2lbs by Sunday

Starting to feel much better about myself now. Started off at 13st 12lbs and have lost 21lbs so far, so past my 10% too. 12st 2lbs is the lightest I'll have been in 3-4 years so I can't wait to get there

Its hard staying motivated sometimes...I REALLY want a chinese...but I have nothing to wear for the christening at the minute as nothing fits comfortably!

Only another 40lbs to go til my goal weight....

Well done to everyone else, keep going!

Hi everyone,

Well I arrived back from our fab WDW trip in mid-July a whopping 10lbs heavier!!! Due to a couple of weekends away and the school hols(pic-nics galore!) I haven't lost any of it.

I'm hoping to see some progress at my wi on tuesday

Well done, you can do it....just think how fab you will look in your dress

..........keep away.....Nutella is evil.....it has the strange power of making you eat the whole jar after one small taste...aarrgghhh

Your doing so well

I know what you mean, it's sometimes hard to keep up the motivation....but you can do it

I hope you had a lovely trip.....summer hols are a killer for dieting. You'll get their, just need to get motivated again....sending you positive vibes and a big hug

Anyway......I lost 1lb yesterday....not great but still going in the right direction. I was determined that I would make a huge effort this week.......I fell at the first hurdle I have been to Pitzza express today and even had cheesecake.....so cross with myself......but realy enjoyed it

So august is here and had a really less than perfect week but I weighed in this morning and and I have stayed the same so I suppose i should be grateful for small mercies. I want to wish everyone good luck in the month ahead.

Hi , I hope you don’t mind me joining in. I started WW two weeks ago and have lost 7lbs so far, which I’m really pleased with....but it’s a long road ahead!

I don’t know about you but find week days fine, it’s just those damn weekends and all that rosé that causes the problems.......

Wishing you all luck for this week

hi and welcome

i know what you mean about the weekends !!! nightmare

good luck xx

Hi folks - weigh in tonight, lost 1 and a half again. Seems to be slowing down a bit now, but still a loss so I'm happy.

I know what you mean about the weekends. I try to save 100 calories per day from my extras if I can on Thurs/Fri and then on Saturdays I can have a wee treat in the evening. It seems to work quite well. As long as I write everything down i've had, I seem to be able to keep on track.

Good luck everyone this week

Well done, they say the slower you lose, the easier it is to maintaine

Well done on your loss so far

I agree, the week isn't so bad....If I could only avoid the weekend

Anyway....my week didn't go to plan....after my trip to Pizza Express, it seemed to get worse....resulting in putting 1/2lb on at WW tonight

I've given myself a good talking to and had a very healthy tea......Plan on getting up early to exercise before work....fingers crossed

Hi guys, I've been away from this thread for a few weeks (and quiet on the dis in general) due to some really horrible stuff going on in my life. Basically it involved a genuinely schizophrenic neighbour attacking me and threatening to kill my missus and I, after we called the Police to report him for beating his girlfriend up. Not nice
Lots of visits from the Police later, and gradually life feels like it is back to normal. The neighbour is now gone, and I'm wanting to just get back into the old routine.
I can see that you guys have been doing really well. I've just got 3lb to lose to get to my goal, and have my next weigh-in tomorrow, 16/08. I really want to get my gold membership at WW (if only for financial reasons now!), but I'm not sure if I'll hit it this week. Hopefully within the next few weeks though, and definitely before my WDW hols in October!
I hope you guys all have a fab week!
